Poem of a Friend

When I look at you

Do you know what it is I see?

I see a soul thats growing cold.

Trapped by all that goes untold.

I see the man inside the boy

who fears the unknown and all it could destroy.

I see a man and his self doubts.

For him, the past lurks to close about.

He closes his own eyes discovery

which causes his pain and misery.

Choosing to be blind.

He closes his mind.

He numbs his pain.

To keep from going insane.

Losing himself

Inside of himself.

A plethora of love lives inside

an abundance of good he tries to hide.

I hope and pray for him one day

to have all he wishes and wants.

I hope and pray for him one day

his past ceases to haunt.

For he deserves all that is good

from his wife and from this life.

I pray for God to heal his soul,

protect his heart ending his pain and strife.

Please God, I wish you would……..

If Ever I Choose To Quit You

If every I choose to quit you,

hope you will always know,
it was you who made my dreams come true
And set my heart aglow.

Endless talks that left me
with strong feelings inside.
You gave a gift, unknowingly;
a new-found sense of pride.

“I once was lost and now I’m found.”
You said as you looked into my eyes.
My beating heart the only sound,
your love how it hypnotized.

When first we met, I too was lost.
Feeling empty inside.
You tore down walls building a bridge across
Your spell still has me mesmerized

Gazing into each others eyes
No words could ever describe
You could see through me
and still you liked whats inside.

Feelings we share may be wrong.
Though, loving you feels so right.
To another you do belong
My tears I try so hard to fight.

It’s been years, yet here I sit.
Reflecting upon our past.
Flames of desire that will not quit
And a love that will forever last.

In my dreams, you hold me now.
It is there we still frolic along.
Maybe, in another life somehow,

We’ll meet again only earlier on!
